Spring cleaning and other nonsense

I don’t enjoy household chores. At all! I tolerate dusting, but hate vacuuming. Each year I dread having to clean the kitchen cabinets, fridge and blinds. They are the worst! Then again, I can’t stand a dirty, disorderly house. I can’t think when it’s messy. So I won’t be at peace until it’s done. Now the perfect time to tackle spring cleaning though, because I’m waiting on two manuscripts: one is at my agent the other with my beat readers. Plus we’re having people over this weekend. Although I don’t like cleaning, I love, LOVE cooking, baking and entertaining. Here's the menu for the evening:

Starter: Shrimp cocktails. Red and white wine will be served with the meal.

Entre: Roast beef with Celery roots and potato mash; pan fried carrots and Brussels sprouts, Yorkshire pudding, Greek salad and to top it all off (and make sure our arteries are completely clogged) a bourguignon sauce.

About Me

I’m a mystery, science fiction and fantasy writer. I grew up in Shippagan, New Brunswick, but now lives in Prince George, British Columbia with my husband and two Scottish terriers. For those who are wondering how to pronounce my name, the H in Nathalie is silent, and Mallet is pronounced like ballet, the dance, but with an M.
The Princes of the Golden Cage is the first installment in the Prince Amir Mystery series. The third book in the series, Death in the Traveling City, is now available.
